Something a little more obscure (maybe for people who don't live where I live): what state or states were admitted on Valentine's Day?

Another: what video game character's birthdate is on February 14th in 1968, 1977 or 1992 depending on which version of the game you're playing?
Nobody's even going to try? Okay, both Arizona and Oregon became states on February 14th, Oregon in 1859 and Arizona in 1912. And Valentine's Day in various years is traditionally the birthday of Tomb Raider's Lara Croft.

7 of 12. "Another missed connection"... As usual, another Valentine "swing and a miss" for "Don Juan"!

My husband and I had our 1st date to Sadie Hawkins dance the day before Valentine's day. A few years later our daughter was born on Valentine's Day!

8/12, but I don't feel bad as I'm not real big on Valentine's Day, but then neither is the wife.

I used to give out a lot of valentines.

Then my wife told me to cut it out.

Here's something to try for your Valentine this year:

Buy a bunch of cheap cards at the dollar store, then hide them around the house so your valentine will find them during the course of the day. Some suggestions: in the fridge, by the toothbrush, in a purse/briefcase, by the remote, in the car, etc.

My wife and I did this for many years until I became disabled. (Kind of took the surprise out of it when I couldn't go to the store by myself anymore.)

I think you should still do it, even if she just doesn't get to see what cards you pick

3/12 It was a missed connection. Lol 😆.
I guess that's why I'm single.

11/12, That being said, I am SO grateful to have a wife that years ago taught me what true love really is and how to show it, (I will agree and say men can be slow learners.) As far as the proposal question, no I did not on Valentine's Day, but my parents got married on Valentine's Day. Pretty neat quiz though!

Why the sharp downturn? Some post quiz analysis is due. Sometime people just get tired and it causes their grade to plummet
